Notice of Hearing Nov 30th

Austin is in the process of updating three mobility plans guiding the construction of urban trails, sidewalks, crossings and bike lanes across the city.  

The Urban Trails Plan, Bicycle Plan and Sidewalks, Crossings and Shared Streets Plan are all part of the larger Austin Strategic Mobility Plan (ASMP), and the ASMP is being amended to reflect the changes. The three plans will update prior documents that were included as part of the ASMP: the Bicycle Plan (2014), Urban Trails Plan (2014) and Sidewalks Plan (2016).

The ATX Walk, Bike, Roll (WBR) effort to update these three modal plans included a two-year-long outreach and engagement process, which reached thousands of participants through surveys, online feedback tools, and community ambassadors. City staff have made edits to the three modal plans and the ASMP based on public input, as well as feedback received through the boards and commissions process.

You can review the ASMP amendments online now. The final drafts of the three modal plans are also available on the ATX Walk, Bike Roll webpage.

The final round of engagement will be through the City Council public hearing process. Austin City Council will hold a public hearing on Thursday, Nov. 30, and consider an ordinance to adopt the three modal plans while making amendments to the ASMP and the Imagine Austin Comprehensive Plan.

The meeting begins at 10 a.m. at Austin City Hall Council Chambers, 301 West Second Street. You can also view the meeting online through the ATXN website. Members of the public are able to speak during the public hearing.

If you would like to comment on the final draft proposals, you may either attend virtually by viewing the meeting online and registering to speak in advance, or by going to City Hall to participate in person. Visit the City Clerk’s Public Participation webpage for more information on how to participate in the meeting.
